Question

A meal that cost $50 had a 20% tip and 5% sales tax. How could you calculate your final total bill?

Answer 1

$57.50

Explanation:

find 10% of 50 first, which is 5, because 5 × 10 = 50, then add $10 to the $50 beacause 50 × 0.2 = 10, next, remove 5%, to do this divide 10% by 2 to get $2.50, 60 - 2.5 = 57.5
